Part IV. Integrating Puppet

In this part, we’ll discuss advanced tools and configurations that support, enhance, and extend your Puppet implementation. As you work your way through the chapters in this part, you will find out how to:

  • View node status using Puppet Dashboard
  • Install and configure Puppet on Windows
  • Use environments to support module testing and diverse teams
  • Manipulate nodes using the MCollective Puppet agent
  • Deploy and administer network infrastructure with Puppet
  • Compare and contrast server-based versus server-less Puppet implementations
  • Plan and prepare for the challenges of large-scale deployments

In this part of the book, the answers become less firm, and best practices may vary depending on your individual needs. This part of the book attempts to cover a wide variety of concerns. It will explain and outline the possibilities rather than define a single philosophy.
